That was a very well done story.

thank you very much Fem...

V.

You are very welcome

A potent tale that had me sniffing at the end. Well done. Not all endings need be happy ones. Life is rather stingy with those, I've found. And stories that follow life in that way can be just as satisfying as any 'happily ever after.'

Though I do try to ration myself on them.

*hugs*

me too... I much prefer happy endings...

This was another very well done tale Vixyy, you certainly have a passion for stories based around aviation and a characters that one can easily get behind.

After reading the opening paragraph's I knew there was a real possibility that Marshal wasn't going to make it and still there was the desire to see him and Clarence both pull through.

The duel itself was incredibly well written, with a nice build up and some very palpable tension. I appreciate all of the small details, such as pointing out that a carburetor doesn't hold up well under the pressure of negative G dives.

The ending, certainly among your saddest (this, coming from one who likes bittersweet endings) but I think we can agree it was the only one that can do a story such as this justice and I couldn't see it ending any other way.

Indeed, fly free my friend...

Thank you so very much Hania... I so appreciate your words. Such, from another writer, is always appreciated.
